Answer:
(2)
Step-by-step explanation:
use... triangle inequality....
i,e...any side < sum of other sides
a chord in a circle when joined by radii form a triangle hence the two sides are 3.5cm each
now third side ( chord ) < 3.5 + 3.5
means chord length should be less than 7cm
therefore option (2) is correct
